Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to establish the rate of radial artery occlusion post transradial cardiac catheterization through different modalities. The study hypothesis is that specialized imaging can provide specific information to help identify hand complications after cardiac catheterization through the wrist. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The subjects consist of patients who present to the cardiac catheterization laboratory for an angiogram or percutaneous intervention for the first time.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult subjects over the age of 18 who present to the Jesse Brown VA cath lab for a diagnostic radial artery angiogram or percutaneous intervention will be considered for the study.

Who cannot join

  • Any subject who is unable to give informed consent or declines to participate will be excluded.
  • Patients who have previously had a cardiac catheterization through the radial artery will be excluded because it will not be known if the changes to the circulation of the hand is secondary to the current or previous transradial catheterization.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to establish the rate of radial artery occlusion post transradial cardiac catheterization through different modalities.

The study hypothesis is that specialized imaging can provide specific information to help identify hand complications after cardiac catheterization through the wrist.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to establish the rate of radial artery occlusion post diagnostic/interventional cardiac catheterization through different modalities, and to compare current assessment methods (such as Allen's test, Modified Barbeau test and duplex ultrasonography) to specialized imaging techniques for sensitivity and specificity of radial artery occlusion detection post transradial catheterization.

The study hypothesis is that specialized imaging can provide a specific focused analysis of hand characteristics to identify physiologic abnormalities as a result of radial artery occlusion post transradial catheterization.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Physiologic abnormalities of the hand

    Blood flow to the hand in which transradial access was accomplished will be assessed for physiologic abnormalities as a result of radial artery occlusion post transradial catheterization

    Measured: 1 day to 3 weeks post transradial cardiac catheterization

  2. Physiologic abnormalities of the hand

    Blood flow to the hand in which transradial access was accomplished will be assessed for physiologic abnormalities as a result of radial artery occlusion

    Measured: 3 weeks to 3 months post transradial cardiac catheterization

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Radial Artery Occlusion

    Radial artery blood flow will be assessed for patency or occlusion 1 day to 3 weeks post transradial cardiac catheterization

    Measured: 1 day to 3 weeks post transradial catheterization

  2. Radial Artery Occlusion

    Radial artery blood flow will be assessed for patency or occlusion 3 weeks to 3 months post transradial catheterization

    Measured: 3 weeks to 3 months post transradial catheterization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Angiography and Radial Artery Occlusion, run by Jesse Brown VA Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Physiologic abnormalities of the hand (time frame: 1 day to 3 weeks post transradial cardiac catheterization). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01996553, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Aug 2017.
